> Don't post in HTML format (never a good idea anyway), instead use plain 
> text formatting. This is usually an option in whatever email program you

> bandwith. An HTML formatted message will be many times the size of a

> internet and HTML messages can be painful for them. This list will strip 
> off the HTML formatting but message sizes may still be bigger than if 
> formatted originally in plain text.

> If you are replying to a message on the list snip off the extraneous 
> quoted text. In a long thread, quoted text can add up to over 5K. A few 
> sentences from the previous posts are usually sufficient for message 
> clarity.
